Objectives To prospectively investigate the capability of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)
and conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to identify early kidney function injury in type …

Objective: Patients with diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy (DN) and healthy donor
were analyzed to test whether the early DN patients can be detected using both blood …

Renal echo planar diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has clinical potential but suffers from
geometric distortion. We evaluated feasibility of reversed gradient distortion correction in 10 …

This work aims to estimate the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) in detecting early-stage kidney injury in type 2 diabetic patients with …

Introduction To assess if parameters in intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to evaluate early renal fibrosis in a mouse model of …

Objective: To evaluate the clinical feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the kidney in
volunteers and patients with renal diseases. Material and Methods: Ten volunteers and 22 …

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major risk factor for morbidity in systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) and 10% of patients with LN will develop end stage renal disease …

The authors report a case of unilateral xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, associated with
chronic lithiasis studied by standard clinical magnetic resonance imaging protocol and …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of normal kidneys and the
influence of hydration state. Materials and Methods Ten healthy volunteers underwent renal …

Objective: Water transport is a predominant phenomenon throughout the kidney, which has
important effect on renal function. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) that has recently been …
